Sir was seen for the first time since being left 'devastated' after cancelling six shows due to ill health while stepping out in Beverly Hills, just weeks ahead of his planned Glastonbury performance.
The Maggie May hitmaker, 80, was supported by daughter Kimberly, 45, and lookalike son Sean, 44, as they headed for dinner at swanky restaurant Matsuhisa.
Rod, who put on a brave face and flashed a smile despite still recovering from flu, wore a black velvet jacket with gold trim which he teamed with jeans and a white shirt.
Shielding his eyes behind shades the rocker accessorised with a quirky necklace as he arrived in a chauffeur-driven car.
Meanwhile Kimberly, who is expecting her child, showcased her blossoming bump in a black mini dress which she wore with a chic blazer and boots.

Although she has not revealed the identify of her baby-to-be's father, the model already shares a 13-year-old daughter, named Delilah, with her ex Benicio Del Toro.
Her brother Sean, 44, cut a causal figure in a white T-shirt as the siblings were on hand to support their beloved father amid his health woes.
Rod shares eight children with five mothers. He is a father to four daughters Sarah, 61, Kimberly, Ruby, 37, and Renee, 33 and four sons Sean, Liam, 30, and Alastair Wallace, 19, and Aiden Patrick, 14, whom he shares with wife Penny.
It comes after the iconinc singer took to Instagram to announce he'd been forced to cancel another six US shows after already axing two gigs in Las Vegas earlier this week on doctor's orders.
He wrote in a statement: 'I have to cancel and reschedule my next six concerts in June as I continue to recover from the flu,'
'So sorry my friends. I'm devastated and sincerely apologise for any inconvenience to my fans. I'll be back on stage and will see you soon.'
He also listed the four shows he was cancelling in Las Vegas and Stateline, Nevada, as well as two he plans to reschedule in California.
On Thursday Sir Rod was due to take to the stage at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, only to cancel the show 24-hours before .The hitmaker hasn't as of yet confirmed a new date.
Posting an Instagram statement on Wednesday, he wrote: 'I'm awfully sorry to have to cancel my show June 5th at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.
'My doctor ordered a bit more rest while I recover from the flu. Thanks for your love and understanding.'
Rod was also forced to reschedule his residency gig days earlier on Monday, with a new date set for June 10.
He said in a social media statement: 'I am sorry to inform you that I'm not feeling well and my show tonight at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace is being rescheduled to June 10. Your tickets will be valid for the new date.'
The latest set back comes just weeks of the crooner's planned Sunday afternoon legends slot at Glastonbury Festival in Somerset on June 29.
He was put on vocal rest amid his mammoth One Last Time Tour, and last month seen with a sign around his neck informing anyone he came into contact with that he could not speak after his concert at Milan's Unipol Forum.
It read: 'Sorry. Cannot talk. Having vocal rest.'
He returned to the stage at the MEO Arena in Lisbon, Portugal, three days later on May 13.
The music veteran will be done with 'large-scale world tours' once he finishes this year's shows in Europe and North America.
However, he has no plans to retire.
The 'You Wear It Well' singer wrote on Instagram: 'This will be the end of large-scale world tours for me, but I have no desire to retire.
'I love what I do, and I do what I love. 'I'm fit, have a full head of hair, and can run 100 metres in 18 seconds at the jolly old age of 79.
'I'd like to move onto a Great American Songbook, Swing Fever tour the year after next – smaller venues and more intimacy. But then again, I may not...'
It comes as Sir Rod is planning a mini-reunion with his band Faces when he takes to the stage at Glastonbury.
Ronnie Wood, who is a close friend of the Hot Legs hitmaker and performed alongside him in the 70s, is heading to Worthy Farm for a performance.
Rod himself shared the news during an interview on The Peter Crouch podcast, after he was asked whether he's kept in touch with the Rolling Stones or Sir Elton John.
He replied: 'Not really, but Woody and I do a lot just recently because we are going to do Glastonbury together.'
Rod was also forced to reschedule his residency gig days earlier on Monday, with a new date set for June 10
When asked why they lost touch, Rod said it was because Ronnie and Elton had quit booze, saying: 'I think they stay away from me.'
Rod was tight-lipped when asked whether Faces drummer Kenney Jones will be joining them on-stage.
However, the music legend confirmed in November that he had reunited with his Faces bandmates for a new album.
Speaking on the Soccer A-Z podcast, Rod said: 'I'm meeting up with the last two members of the Faces tomorrow, and we're working on a documentary, because next year will be our 50th anniversary, or 60s.
'I don't know what it is, but when the faces were together, and we're trying to put out an album. So I shall be with Mr. Woods and Mr. Jones.'
Rod and Ronnie have been friends since 1969 when they were both members of rock group Faces.
Although the band parted ways in 1975, the pair kept in touch, with Rod serving as best man to Ronnie's wedding to Sally in 2012.

Spinal Tap II: The End Continues

The first trailer for the long-awaited sequel to This Is Spinal Tap has been released, showcasing the venerable rockers' supposed last hurrah in a film called Spinal Tap II: The End Continues. Spinal Tap II reunites Nigel Tufnel, David St Hubbins and Derek Smalls (played by Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer) as they get together for a final concert, more than 40 years after the 1984 mockumentary that made their name. In between, Spinal Tap released the album Break Like the Wind in 1992, appeared on The Simpsons, played the Live Earth charity concert in 2007 and Glastonbury in 2009. The trailer shows Marty DiBergi (director Rob Reiner's totally on-point mickey-take of Martin Scorsese) is on hand to record the band's doings, and megastars including Elton John, Questlove and Paul McCartney drop in to add their two-penn'orth to the Tap mythos. Filling in for An Evening with Stormy Daniels has to be the high point of anyone's career, right? Spinal Tap II: The End Continues is out on 12 September in the US and UK, and on 25 September in Australia.
